The New Activa:All that u need to know





As you read it, Honda launches a new Activa in Delhi.
Honda new Activa gets a redesigned front and rear section. The front is dominated by curvy and aerodynamic styling with redesigned headlamps. Clear lens turn indicators dominates the rear. Honda laos makes use of impact resistant ABS plastic panels to reduce the overall weight of the two-wheeler. The new activa is powered by 109cc 4-stroke engine pumping out 8bhp at 7500rpm and 0.9Kgm at 5500rpm. As we told you earlier, the redesigning result in reduced fuel tank capacity. The fuel tank capacity of new activa is 5.3L. New activa comes with kick and self start option. The new activa also gets combined braking system. Honda CBS is a safety system on motorcycles that balances the engagement of both front and rear brakes. CBS applies front braking force whenever the rear brake is operated.
Apart from the styling and engine changes, the new activa gets loads of comfort features. This includes largert 18L storage space, optional inner/glove box (still optional!!!),key shutter and rear tuff-up tube.
While the ground clearance remains the same as the old one (145mm), the length and breadth is limited to 1761mm and 710mm from 1765mm and 715mm. However this full body male scooter has grown taller 17mm and subquently the saddle height now stoods at 765mm versus the earlier 760mm. The new activa comes in six colours - geny grey metallic,candy lucid red,black,force silver metallic,wild purple metallic and pearl sunbeam white.
The new activa is priced Rs39,800 (ex-showroom Delhi). Price in other cities
Price Ex-show room –
Pune – Rs. 41,300
Bengulru – Rs. 41,340
Kolkata – Rs. 41,320
The new activa comes in two variants - activa standard and activa deluxe. The prices mentioned here are of the standard variant. The deluxe variant which will come with combi brakes will be launched soon. The punchline for the new activa is “Joy ON & ON”.

Wallpapers of New Activa 110cc
Ever since she made her debut, she is not a show-stopper. Infact one of the reason for her success is said to be her no non-sense styling. Honda has carefully worked to keep its simple and attractive. New amoeboid headlamp, clear lens winkers at the front and the rear and a slighty reshaped apron makes it afresh. A new chunky, aluminium alloy rear grab rail carried from the aviator and the foldable pillion foot pegs are welcome changes. Still,
On the engineering front, ergonomics has improved a bit. Thanks to the increased height, Activa has become taller and hence the saddle position is raised by 5mm. But Activa’s conseravative styling and relatively high seating position may not go well with young female buyers. Switches and knobs have been carried forward from Honda’s Aviator. Fit and finish quality is top notch.


Cosmetic's: One of the main issue with the earlier Activa is its weight, its tough to put her on center stand. Honda counters this by using impact resistant ABS plastics. The new activa 110cc uses ABS at front apron,front cowl and at the rear. Result even after the hike in displacement of the engine , the overall weight of the scooter is reduced by 4kgs.

Engine Spec's: Honda’s proven 4-stroke, Single cylinder, air cooled, OHC now displaces exactly 7cc more in the new Activa.Peak power rating for this engine has been set at 8 bhp at 7,500 rpm and the maximum torque output is 9 Nm at 5,500 rpm. Transmission is variomatic and the electric self-start option comes as part of standard fitment.

On The Road:Performance is commendable for a scooter and the additional 7cc gives her the required push. Thumb the self-start switch, the low noise 4-cycle Honda engine starts with typical Honda ‘hum’. Refinement is at its best and the pick-up is smooth. She easily moves into her comfort zone (between 40-60kmph). However, keeping her at 70kmph is also not a tiring excercise. The exhaust note turns thrummy and a bit gruff when she is pushed beyond 80kmph and at 85kmph she fizzles out.
While the older activa losses out its competetiors on mileage round. Honda has worked on it and the new activa returns a mileage of 45kmpl.

Honda still fiddles with century old bottom link with spring loaded hydraulic damper suspension at the front and a a swing arm with a spring-loaded hydraulic damper at the rear. But surprisingly, the ride quality is impeccable. We drove the scooter over rough rural roads and she once again reiterated the same. She moves over broken roads with ease and insulates the rider and the pillion. Large and wider seats also helps the matter though.

Handling too is good. She remains stable even at higher speeds. Push her into corner at 70kmph and turn, she rewards you with confidence. For a scooter, the stabilty is quiet impressive. However all is not well,there is a serious limitation on her stopping capability.
Our test drive scooter is a standard one and it uses 130mm drum brakes at the front and the rear. Though the bite is decent, the stopping distance (to standstill) is too long. Tight traffic conditions where she is going to be mostly used will require much effort from the rider. We still have to test the combi brake which is reserved for deluxe variant. We wish Activa has disc at the front like the aviator. A 16-split shot to explain things better.


As typical of any Honda, it losses to its competetiors on features front. Under seat storage box is just adequate to comfort a open face helmet and other usable features include front choke and a bag hook. Key shutter and combi brakes are availble in only in deluxe variant. Side stand alarm! don’t kid me. Side stand, saree-guard and even a glove box are optional accessories.

Colours: Available in Geny Grey Metallic, Force Silver metallic, Candy Lucid Red,Wild Purple Metallic,Black and Pearl Sunbeam White this scooter from Honda costs Rs46,269 (On-Road, Chennai).
